AB Tools Safety End Frame Clamp Cramp - 38mm X 200mm - 50Pk

Its primary use is to restrain masonry to new or existing structures and to secure timber window and door frames into masonry, preventing sideways movement.

The frame clamp is manufactured from grade 304 stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.

The Sheared Load Capacity is 1180N, indicating the force it can withstand before failure in a shear direction.

These clamps are designed for restraining and securing non-structural elements and frames, not for primary load-bearing structural support.

A minimum embedment of 62.5mm into the masonry and a minimum mortar joint thickness of 10mm are required for optimal performance.

Each pack contains 50 frame clamps.

While designed for timber frames, they can be adapted for use with certain metal frames provided appropriate fixings are used to connect the metal frame to the clamp.

Verify that the minimum embedment depth (62.5mm) and minimum mortar joint (10mm) requirements were met during installation. Ensure the frame is securely fastened to the clamp itself.

Grade 304 stainless steel offers high resistance, but severe environmental conditions might cause minor surface staining. Ensure no chlorides or harsh chemicals are in contact with the clamps. If significant corrosion occurs, the clamp may need replacement.

Ensure the mortar is not too stiff or too wet. The consistency should allow the clamp to be embedded firmly without collapsing the joint. Ensure the mortar joint is adequately prepared.
